In the first six months of this year, Serbia was visited by more than 940 thousand foreign guests, 30 percent more than last year, who are responsible for the foreign exchange inflow from tourism of almost 900 million euros.
Dunja Đenić, Assistant Minister of Tourism from the Tourism Inspection Sector, said that the number of Chinese guests in the first six months of this year is 200 percent higher than in the same period last year. Mid-August heralds the end of the summer holiday season. Many visitors from all over the world, as well as our citizens, decided to spend their days off in Serbia.
Vrnjačka Banja is one of the most visited tourist destinations in our country, and these days it is also chosen by many fans of film art, because the Film Screenplay Festival is in progress.
The director of the Tourist Organization, Ivan Trifunović, points out that the weekend was extremely good, with more than 50,000 guests. “Everything was full. The beginning of the film festival, the wine fair, Danilo Bata Stojković Days, that’s something that marks the month of August,” says Trifunović.

“They visited the destinations as in previous years. The most interesting for them are certainly Belgrade, as the capital, behind that are the mountains of Kopaonik and Zlatibor, spas that are particularly interesting, Vrnjačka Banja, Sokobanja, and then the cities of Novi Sad and Niš. Manifestations, which are perhaps the most attractive, also contribute, especially in this summer period,” says Đenić.
Foreign tourists mostly come from Russia and Turkey and from the region, ie Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Croatia. “There has been a significant increase in the number of Chinese guests arriving in Serbia, which increased by 200 percent in the first six months of this year compared to the same period last year,” Đenićeva points out.
